I got an e mail today from my g grandmothers sisters g grandaughter,Veronica(sounds confusing,i know). My mum had always thought there was some connection with New Zealand but as she was only 8 when her gran died she wasn't sure,then 2 years ago when visiting Cornwall i found some death notices in an old paper relating to my gg grandfather and BINGO there was the NZ connection.So for 2 yrs i've been trying to find any info relating to them with no luck,until today.Veronica (had been searching ancestry when she found some else who had researched our family but wasn't related ,luckily this person had my email address and passed my info on to Veronica.I've sent her a quick email back just to accknowledge that she has sent me one and once the shock has worn off we'll exchange info.She maybe coming over next year so it would be great to meet up. Sorry for all the rambling but i'm so excited i wanted to share my news, Karen.
